Very good but not plot indepth
I cant stress enough first off how much i DO really really like this story. Its very unique and done really well and everything about it was so beautiful. It has so much emotion packed in and you watch these characters grow. Like, everything was 10/10 til around episode 8? maybe 7? out of the 10 total.
What DID start happening was some plot points created just.... went no where or didnt make much sense or just didnt feel meaningful. Mind you i came from just watching HiStory: Trapped and it was absolutely and truly amazing with its in depth plot. Finishing branching points from every character and everything tied up and made sense.
One of the plot points that feels really big is introduced pretty early on, and gets rly rly rly close to a "resolution" that works out really well for the village. And then they just....never come back to it. I wouldnt even be surprised if i just happen to straight up miss if they said anything cus im legit so confused how they could NOT mention what happened. We can assume but nothing hints to us what came of any of it. I cant stress how this was the only real problem for the villagers and never then addressed or even mentioned at all if the villagers even got to a better place now or not.
[POSSIBLE SPOILER ON PARENTS:
Here, the parents were just so annoying, never questioned or rebelled against (i understand culturally why they would just be like this). Basically willing to ruin his only happiness ever cus they want bragging rights to their rich friends. And they just.... do it. And ppl just tell him to follow his parent.... cus they said so... cus it "would be best." The father comes so close to actually caring about his son then goes back to "well your mom wants bragging rights and she said so, so youre are doing the opposite of what youve ever wanted" like ok nvm.

[POSSIBLE SPOILERS OF LAST EP: it ends well and happy fyi! :)
The last episode feels like a cop out, cus they had episode 8-10 going basically downhill and i wasnt sure if this would be a series i would end with a poor taste in my mouth. Everything was going SO SO well it was getting BETTER and the characters were getting CLOSER and HAPPIER and then, everything ends cus parents said so. And right before they have to distance, the other guy is like well actually maybe you SHOULD come back. I get that now that hes actually left, he would regret it and be true to what he wants, but THEN they have an INSTANT time skip and now just... back. All resolved. Like, ok sure. He got an education and bragging rights like his parents wanted, and now can properly do his passion hes found, but thats it? His parents just let him NOW do w/e he wants? He was already 20 something, is finishing school ALL his parents wanted and now he can just leave? Just jumping right back in as if the down hill problems never started, tho they obvi are closer now than before.
Dont get me wrong, i think they COULD have followed this line of events, just had it feel more necessary than just "cus we said so" and make us feel like this HAS to happen, unavoidable. But, it really didnt. He didnt have to leave other than not questioning his parents motives and doing w/e they want. I wanted to feel sad that this had to happen, not anger at his parents and him for just letting it happen. But its not as if this is unrealistic either way, so other than wishing it was more meaningful, its not bad, just not my preference.

All in all, it was really amazing other than those small things i had issues with. It works out and ends beautifully and regardless of everything, is still one of the most beautiful stories ive ever seen. Its so wholesome and makes me so happy. Its so different (from what ive seen) and is def worth rewatching if i can get over my small gripes with it. This is prob gunna be my top recommended shows in general cus its just... so... *chefs kiss* IF my grips were taken care of, just a little bit more ends tied and less annoying parents, honestly would be top fav 10/10. Its 8 cus of the taste it left before the ending resolved, but it resolved well enough that its still amazing.
